Races
From FFa2Wiki
The majority of Kith Kanaan are perfectly mundane. It is possible however, for a character to have supernatural heritage, making them something ‘more’ than a mere mortal. The character’s ancestors may have bred with the divine, faerie, or infernal, or the character may be connected to the ancient dragons of old, or have the blood of some mythic race flowing within them. Others may be savages, someone who has drawn on their primal instincts to become a berserker, able to tear apart anyone who angers them. Or, the character may be from the broken world of Rym, seeking refuge from the horrors there, or rallying allies to come back with them. Mythic and Outsider Races grant three free Powers, and offer a discount on another six Powers. Bloodline Races grant a discount on nine Powers instead. Each Race also has access to a Merit. Merits are innate abilities which manifest through the character’s blood, unique to that particular Race.
Cost: 40 DP for one, 30 DP per additional Race
Discount: -10 if from a Favoured Nation
Bonus: -20 DP discount when buying a Favoured Sorcery (stacks with National discount for Sorcery)

Divine Bloodline
Divine ancestry, connected to one of the pantheons of Kith Kanaan. Someone in the character’s history drew the attention of one of the divine servants of the gods. A few cultures have stories of dalliances between the divine and the mortal, but there are some nations where such heritage may result in the death of the divine-touched.
Faerie Bloodline
Those born with the blood of the faeries are watched with suspicion and are sometimes even persecuted, depending on what blood flows their their veins. The people of Kith Kanaan consider faeries an unknown factor, and there are legends of changelings and young stolen by the fae which keep most people on their toes.
Infernal Bloodline
Those who carry the blood of the infernal are often turned against with prejudice and hatred. It is often believed that the infernal-blooded carry the corruption and the sins of their infernal lineage, and it is almost impossible to convince any normal person otherwise. This prejudice often becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy, as the victims of such hate often lash out against the world around them, becoming as dark as their reputations make them out to be.
Mythic
Not bloodlines, the mythic races are the mundane equivalent to the wild supernatural beasts that exist in Kith Kanaan. While these races have some of the abilities of their supernatural counterparts, they are not nearly as powerful. Most mythics are viewed with awe or fear, depending on the reputation of the race they mirror. Those races with wings usually have a wing span of two-and-a-half times their height.
Outsider
Except for the Savage Race, all Outsiders come from the world of Rym, a world of dead gods slowly being devoured by a force called ‘The Eater’. The lutrai were the first race to discover Rym, but since that time many of the races of Rym have come to Kith Kanaan seeking refuge and a chance to recover and thrive. Some return to Rym to continue the war, while others have given up their home as a lost cause.

Special: Merits
All Merits require 5 Essence to activate for Bloodlines and Mythics. These are the innate powers that flow through the veins of those with supernatural heritage. At Growth 4, the Essence Cost is reduced to 3. At Growth 7, the Essence Cost is reduced to 1. True Supernatural Creatures and Outsider characters of the appropriate race can activate these merits for only 4 Essence. At Growth 4, the Essence Cost is reduced to 2. At Growth 7, the Essence Cost is reduced to 0
Merits are expensive, to represent the fact that not every member of a race has immediate access to their racial abilities. Those of exceptional quality are known for their supernatural talents which go beyond that of the normal members of their race, and as such only a character of strong will are able to draw upon these abilities.
Angel (Redemption)
The character spends an Action, touching a helpless or willing target. If the recipient has followed the Laws of the Joshuites for the last seven days, they feel refreshed, and regain all Essence and Health. If they have broken any of the Joshuite Laws within the last seven days, they feel sorrow and lose all Essence. The recipient then makes a Spiritual + Meditation roll against the character, with a Difficulty (Resolve + Growth). If the recipient fails, they can not knowingly or willingly break Joshuite Law for seven days. This power manifests as a golden, holy light around the character’s head, much like a halo.
Archon (Prescience)
The character spends an Instant Action, and gains acute awareness of the region around them and everything taking place there. The character can sense, peripherally, the Tapestry and everything that is connected to it. For the next Scene, the character is capable of acting and moving in harmony with the Tapestry, following the simplest course to the resolution they desire. The character adds their Growth to their Initiative in combat, but can use their Actions at any time, in any manner they see fit. All Actions the character has become reflexive, performed in response to the Actions of others, and can interrupt any Action, including Instant Actions. The character is also capable of knowing the intended actions of anyone who has a Resistance less than the character’s (Mental + Growth) for the Scene. This is an Free Action on the part of the character, as they briefly focus on the target. Prescience does not work against those who are outside the Tapestry, such as any creature which is from another Realm.

Daeva (Purity)
The character spends an Action, touching a helpless or willing target. The recipient regains an amount of Health and Essence equal to the character’s (Growth). Additionally, until the next sunset gains True Immunity (Disease and Poison). The recipient can not be affected by Touch of Death during this period of time.

The character spends an Instant Action, becoming beautiful and terrifying to behold for the Scene.

If the target who is hostile or disrespectful has a Resolve higher than the character’s Growth + 3, they may spend 2 Essence for each Action they wish to remain free of the influence of the Merit’s.

Animae (Bonding)
The character spends an Instant Action and becomes connected to one natural aspect of the landscape; such as a lake, forest, desert, or prairie.

Miko-Kami (Favour)
As an Instant Action, the character can command lesser spirits for the Scene, summoning them to act as the character wishes. These lesser spirits manifest within the mundane animals and landscape around the character, so that a rock may leap to strike an opponent, or vines may entangle an intruder, or a dog may turn against its master. The character can choose one object each Round and command it. This object gains a number of Powers equal to the character’s Growth, chosen by the character.

The world appears to have a series of flaws and lines along everything, and the character can use these weaknesses to their advantage. When performing an Action against someone, the character uses the lowest of the target’s Defence, Resistance, or Resolve, and reduces the number by the character’s Growth to determine the actual Difficulty of the Action. The character ignores any bonuses to these Traits which are not specifically granted by an Ability, Gift, Merit, Power, or Talent. Bonuses from equipment, spells, or other outside influences are simply ignored. In addition, the character is capable of performing physical attacks against incorporeal opponents. When an opponent wishes to use an Action against the character, they must use the lowest Attribute they possess, and if the character gains additional successes, these are reduced by the character’s Growth.

The character explodes into a ball of flame with an area of effect equal to twice the character’s (Size + Growth) in feet for one Round. The character adds their Growth as Additional Successes to the Death Save, and for each Success rolled, the character regains one Health while those caught in the area suffer one Wound per Success, which ignores Armour for purposes of Soak.

The character can attempt to keep their current altitude by making a Physical + Acrobatics roll against a Difficulty of 5. Each Success reduces the rate of descent by one foot (and enough successes will allow the Cepn to increase their altitude). Cepn flight is very silent, and the Cepn can add their Growth to any attempts to ambush opponents while airborne.

The Koba can choose to either increase or decrease the Hardness of such materials by their Growth as long as they remain in contact with it. If this reduces the object’s Hardness to 0, the object must make an immediate Death Save (at 1 die), or be destroyed.
